As a certified Spiritual Director, I am particularly attuned to the spiritually independent seeker.

My Approach

Bring your curiosity, your creative spark, the questions you ponder, and your aspirations. I’ll join you with my capacity for deep listening and reflective presence. Together, we forge a unique path for mutual reflection and growth. I am particularly attuned to the spiritually independent seeker and can serve as a guide at those junctures where you seek deeper meaning, want to discern a new direction or reframe your personal narrative. I understand the searching questions and sometimes frankly skeptical attitude of those whose values are not shaped by any one faith tradition.

My Background

My own path draws on an eclectic body of interfaith perspectives and healing practices. My style is open inquiry and contemplation, drawing from many traditions and influences, anchored in Unitarian Universalism and Buddhist meditation practice. At First Unitarian, I serve as a lay minister and co-host of the weekly Vespers service, facilitating a long-running contemplative conversation group. I know and love the Wellspring program, having been a participant, a facilitator, and a certified spiritual companion to many.

My Invitation

Join me for compassionate, reflective listening. We meet for an hour, usually monthly, more often if you prefer. Fees are based on a sliding fee scale commensurate with your circumstances. Be prepared for surprises, deep questions, and personal discovery.
